First of all, if it seems arrogant to make a thread about myself, I'm sorry. Many people on the board have sent me private messages about the custom fireman Jaden Rose is making for me. Seeing as there is a lot of interest I've made this thread for all of you to view.

This thread will incorporate updates including pictures and hopefully updates from Jaden himself if he is willing too I'm guessing the guitar will take around 6-10 weeks to produce but that's something I really can't comment on.

Anyway, Today i went to visit Jaden and most importantly put down the deposit on the Fireman. I had a look round Jaden's workshop and had a great chat and some awesome cake! He is a very nice guy and seems very passionate about his business

The guitar will be made to EXACTLY the same specs as Paul's. Including the aesthetics. Everything down to the angled pickups and woods including korina and bubinga, 22 frets 3/4 scale length, etc. The only difference will be the logo on the headstock

Here are some pictures of the Fireman for those who are unfamiliar with it.

Not criticizing, because this isn't the thread for it, but you should really sit and think about the money you spend. I know you have, I'm just saying that the car is a good investment (be it a mini ). The dream gear can come later. Dream skills don't cost anything:)

(aka we are all jealous)

and holy shit!!!! The fireman only costs 1XXX!!! RABBABBABBABABABABRABABRBABRABABABBA!

The price of the Fireman is for Jaden to comment on, not me

Thanks for the words of advise but I'll be leaving University with no debts so I think I'll be fine financially

Well, if you can, I'd recommend also trying out the ENGL Invader (which looks beautiful with its blue glowing tubes) and/or Savage. The Powerball is also an awesome choice anyway, and I'm sure you'd be happy with it. Just saying there are two other amazing choices out there (albeit more expensive) if you haven't thought about them yet.

Getting new guitar gear is such an addiction. I'm selling a lot of my old stuff to upgrade...which sucks, but at least I gots me some moo-lah. $_$

I also haven't bought my girlfriend anything in ages...

Well, back on topic, so Jaden has not started on the Fireman yet? Or if he has, did you get a good look at it? Also, what kinda cake was it?

And...........Jaden! You WILL make me something someday when I have some amount of money that at this point in time will not be specified!!!!

Hey Bean

I only paid the deposit today so Jaden hasn't started on it yet but he has ordered most of the parts in such as the bridge and woods. It's just the tailpiece that hasn't arrived.

Congrats Sharpant! This is going to be an awesome thread with all the updates of the axe in progress, maybe a sound demo, etc.

Why should you guys care about his money and his business at all? I thought personal finances were just that: personal. Some of you guys are so nosey. Next you're all going to want to look in his medicine cabinet. Sheesh.

in an attempt to steer this conversation away from Ant's purse and how he spends it, here is a picture of his WOOD - fnnnarrr fnnnarrr
calm yourself Dino

in future I will send pics to Ant and let him decide what to show you lot...

Thats about the earliest wip pic iv'e ever seen of a guitar =P

If im allowed to comment on finances, im spending half my student loan on guitar stuff! Why? Because it makes me happy. Thats all the reason i need =D I cant see how im not gonna be able to pay a 10.000$ student loan no matter what i do after school, so i dont worry. If i sell all my equipment im almost there actually. (honestly!)

Sigh, if you would have read my second post you would have seen that i don't get a student loan and will be leaving uni with no debts.

There is nothing expressly stated in your second post that shows you do not have a student loan, only that you don't pay for tuition fees or for accommodation. I know several people who have taken student loans out unnecessarily (not for tuition fees and accommodation) and have blown them on luxuries.
